stone bones

 Dave an amateur paleontologist (he is actually a research chemist) spent the day at the ranch and we searched numerous locations for fossils.  Searching is tedious and recovering fossils is even more so, but we did find several ancient animal bones and this maxilla (wild guess-prehistoric camel).  We also found a 3 inch piece of petrified wood.  Blake and Arden found the experience interesting and now know more of what to look for, but will probably not spend much time searching in the future.
